Application filed February 17, 1911. Serial No. 609,093.

certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Stoves, of which the following specification.

This invention relates to gas stoves and is a {has for its primary object to provide an improved construction, combination and arrangement of parts 1n comblnation gas ranges for burning manufactured or natural gas. More specifically, one of the objects of the present invention. is to provide improved means whereby the top burners in agas range may be adjusted to different elevations to correspond with the heat ng effects of the gases burned therein.

More specifically stated, an object is to :provide improved means for supporting the .top burners at different elevations.

Another object is to provide improved means for supporting the manifoldat dif-v ferent elevations corresponding to the posi-, tions of the top burners.-

A further object is to provide an improved 'device of this character which will permit the burners and manifold to be readily ad justed to different elevations without dismantling the stove.

, With' these and other objects in view which willappear in the specification and be specifically pointed out in the appended claims, my invention contemplates the com- .bination, construction and relative arrangement of parts exemplified in the drawings in its application to the top burners of a gas range.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan view of a gas range provided'with my im .provements. Fig- 2 is a section on the line II-II, Fig. 1, parts being shown in eleva tion and parts being broken away. Fig. 3

-- is a section on the line III-III, parts being shown in elevation. Fig; 4 is a view similar to that shown in Fig. 2, showing the parts 'adjusted to different relative positions.

F' 5 is a perspective view of one of the ad ustable manifold supporting brackets Fig. 6 is a fragmentary frontelevation of'a modified, form of the manifold sustaining bracket. Fig.- -7 is a section on-thedine hereinafter pointed out.

VIIVII, Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a section on the line VIII-VIII, Fig-7. Fig. 9 is a detail section on the line IXIX, Fig. 7.

Referring more particularly to the draw- 1 ings and to the embodiment shown therein, the top frame 1, provided with an inside flange 2 extending entirely around said frame, has a pair of parallelly disposed rods 3, upon which are supported a giant burner 4 and three single burners 5. As shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 4, each of said burners has integrally formed therewith a tubular neck 6 of greater or less length according. to the distance which said burner is from the manifold 7 to be hereinafter more particularly referred to. The giant burner 4 has an additional tubular neck; or conveyer 8. Rigidly connected to the outer end of each tubular conveyor or neck 6 (and 8). is a' mixer 9 of well known construction into which discharges asupply pipe 10 (shown best in Figs. 2 and 4), leading directly from the manifold 7. through the supply pipes [10 is controlled by valve cocks 11. The manifold 7 is of usual well known construction, but it is connected up with a source of gas supply in any suitable manner (not specifically concerned in the present invention) which will permit it to be raised and lowered in the manner to be As is well known the calorific power of natural gas, being considerably greater than that of manufactured gas, the burners for natural gas should be disposed considerably lower with reference to the vessel or The flow of. gas

plate to be heated, than they would be were v manufactured gas to be used. To provide improved means for adjustablysupporting the burners and manifold so as to permit said burners and manifold to be rigidly connected while at the same time making it possible to readily adjust them' from one position to another corresponding to the character of the gas to be consumed, forms the main general object of this invention. For

this purpose, the inturned flange of the top frame of the stove is provided at suitable intervals. with flattened lugs or pads 12 to which is secured the top plate 13 of a burner supporting bracket l lby means of a stove bolt 15, said-bracket 14 being further secured by means of a screw 16. Said bracket 14 is provided at suitable elevations, with.

holes or sockets 17, the upper of which is occupied in Fig. 2 by one of the burner-supporting rods 3 and the lower of which is occupied by a burner-supporting rod 3 in Fi.4. W

l n order to make the burner supporting rods 3 readily detachable and adjustable from one position to the other, a bracket 18,

which is supported in an exactly similarmanner to the bracket 14, is provided with.

' ing rib or lug 22 is provided for rigidly supporting the flange 20 at those points, at which the manifold supporting brackets are secured, said ribs being of suitable shapeto cooperate with said brackets in their different positions.

As shown best in Figs. 2 and 4,.the underside ofthe top frame 1 is provided with downwardly projecting points or lugs 23,

which are adapted to engage the ends of the manifold supporting brackets in the manner sho -n in Fig. 2 when the manifold is in raised position.

Referring now to Figs. 2, 4 and 5, the construction of the manifold supporting bracket will be understood, said bracket comprising a laterally projecting support 24 provided at its outer end with a jaw 25 for engaging the manifold and at its other end with a curved nose 26 adapted to fit successively into the corners between the lugs '22; 23, and the top frame and a cover cap 33 which is provided on its outer end' with a jaw 34 complementary in shape to the jaw 25 of the support 24. Said cover cap, when secured to the support 24, serves to clamp the manifold in position and is retained against lateral displacement byits lateral flanges 35 which engage the spaced ribs or rails 36 on the support 24. Said ribs 36 terminate at an inclined face 37,'the inner end of the cap 33 being beveled to abut against this face. Adjacent to the upper end 26, the bracket arm is provided with a slot- 27, said slot symmetrically disposed with respect to angular-1y disposed seats or facets 28 and 29, which, when .the

bracket is moved from upper to lower posit-ion, are adapted to abut successively against the lug 22 on opposite sides of the bolt hole therethrough. The position of the slot 27, therefore, permits the stove bolt 21 to occupy difl'erent relative positions with .respect to the support 24. Adjacent center of the support 24 are provided a pair of stepped seats or facets 31 and 32, which. 4 I successively abut against the lower edge of operates with the support 42 to clamp themanifold 45. As shown in Fig. ,8, the depending arm 38 is provided with lateral guides 46 on 'one 'face between which the upturned end 47 of the laterally projecting support slides. The inner face of the arm 38 is provided with a oove 49 wherein the nut 50 on the stove bo t 41 may slide. Fig.

9 shows a cross-sectional construction of the support 42 and the cap 43, the lateral flanges 51 being retained by the rails or ribs 52.

What I claim is:

1. The combination with a stove, of a burner, a. manifold connected up with said burner, means for supporting said burner, and separate means for supporting said manifold, each'of said means being adjustable independently of the other to vary the relative elevation of the burner and manifold in said stpve.

2. In a gas stove, the combination with the stove, of a burner, a rodsuppo said burner, and brackets on opposlte w of said stove, said brackets being provided with sockets at different elevations for the reception of said rod. I

3. The combination with a stove provided with a top flange, of a burner, a rod sup porting said burner, brackets on opposite walls of said stove, said brackets being provided with vertically spaced sockets ferreleasably supporting said rod at difierent elevatlons, a manifold, and an adjustable bracket support for said manifold, depending from said top flange. 1

4. The combination with a stove, of a manifold support, a removable cover cap adapted to clamp port, and means or adjustably securln'g said support to a rigid portionof the stove whereb the position of the manifold can be chained without loosening said cover can.

5. .In a gas stove, the combination with a, top frame provided with a flange, of a gas manifold, a pair of clamping members engaging said manifold. and means ad'ustably supportin one ofsald members om said flange, w ereby the height of said a manifold to said supf manifold can be changed without loosening the clamping engagement of said members on the manifold.

6. In a gas stove, the combination with a top frame provided with a flange, of a laterally projecting support rigidly suspended from said flange, said support being provided on its end with a curved claw, and a cover cap for said support provided with a curved claw, said support and cap being provided with interengaging flanges and ribs to retain them againstlateral displacement.

7. In a gas stove, the combination with a top frame provided with a plurality of protuberances, of a manifold, and a bracket adapted to support said manifold, said bracket bein provided with facets adapted to be broug t successively into abutment for said manifold provided with facets adapted to successively engage the edge of said flange, and with disposed facets adapted to be brought successively into engagement with another portion of said top frame, said bracket being further provided with a slot through the last said facets, and a bolt slidably mounted in said slot and secured to said flange.
